 Historians have used the term Gilded Age for the period right after the Civil War and on because it is clear that there was a lot of money in those days.  During this time there was rampant paying people off just so you could get a better part in politics most politicians were very rich and used their position to gain more and more wealth. This was also when there was an economic boom things started ramping up in factories and everywhere but especially in America because it had so many untamed resources at the time.  the use of this term guilded age was a very good and useful term to describe what was happening at the controversial but very important economic time.  The guided age will go down in history as extremely important and it shows what we should not be doing when we become politicians.
